<span>Chromated copper arsenate, or CCA, is a pesticide that has been used for years in pressure-treating lumber to prevent destruction from rot and insects. Arsenic, a toxic chemical, can leach from this treated wood, leaving residues on the wood’s surface and in nearby soil. Young children who play on or near decks or playscapes made from CCA- treated wood can get arsenic on their skin and into their bodies, especially if they eat or drink without washing their hands. Because of the health risks of long-term exposure to arsenic, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that as of December 31, 2003, arsenic Currently the EPA does not recommend that people remove existing structures made with CCA-treated wood or the soil surrounding those structures. However, they do recommend that people reduce their potential exposure to arsenic.</span>

Genotypes usually involve some combination of dominant and recessive alleles. What is the most common inheritance pattern?​
mylen [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D) six dominant and two recessive.

Explanation:

The most common genetic inheritance pattern involves cross between heterozygous recessive parents which means it has one allele of each character in every parent (suppose Tt).

Cross between these parents provide these offspring; TT, Tt, Tt, and tt which exhibit 3:1 ration which can also be mention as 6:2 which means 6 out of the 8 has dominant (homozygous or heterozygous) and 2 out of 8 offsprings are recessive alleles.

Thus, the correct answer is option D) six dominant and two recessive.
